At the foot of which inventory is thus written
Viz: Charles County Ct. 23rd October 1786
Then came Ann Kinnick Admin. D.B.N. of William Kennick late of Charles County dec'd. and made oath on the holy Evangels of Almighty God that the foregoing is a true and perfect inventory of all and singular the goods and chattels of the said dec'd. that came to her hands or possession at the time of making thereof that what since or shall hereafter come to her hands or possession she will return in an additional inventory that she knows of no concealment of any part or parcel of the dec'd. estate by any person whatsoever that if she shall hereafter discover any concealment or suspect any to be she will aquaint the Orphans Court or the Register thereof with such concealment or cause of suspicion that it may be inquired into according to law.

*****************

[ My personal observations are these:
1) Most of the value was in the livestock.
2) Aside from Wool, any crops beyond winter food, had already been sold,
3) Only one table listed - the old poplar (damaged) - curious (*), and
4) No tool sets identifiable beyond that of a middling farmer.]

*One likely explanation - it is believed he lived and worked with his daughter, Ann, and her husband, John, and their children (ages 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 mo); These items would be those he owned, not Ann and John and their family.
